To most people, this would appear to be a pile of wood bits strewn about. To him, this is an awesome racetrack. TURBO SPEED!

He had to use his truck to transport one cob of corn. Makes sense to me.

Perfect day for bubbles. And catching them.

Tallest one he's done yet. We ran out of pieces.

2010-09-03T12:42:00.001-07:00

After standing there for a few seconds, he made sure to let me know "This water is really stinky!"

2010-09-03T12:33:00.001-07:00

Its hard to see, but he decided to wear a white headband. I kinda wanted to tell him the 80's were a long time ago.

If you can't tell by the proximity of the subject, the photographer was nearly the victim of a hit and run (or ride).

I had to move this baseball contraption away from the previous spot I put it, since I prefer our windows remain unbroken.

2009-08-28T20:50:00.001-07:00

I kept asking him if he wanted a picture taken next to the pond instead. No. It had to be that tree.
Then we ate a cookie.

2009-08-12T17:17:00.001-07:00

KT and the tall flowers. Sounds like a good name for a band.

climbing

2009-08-05T15:53:00.001-07:00

It took 3 visits to the park, but he finally figured out how to maneuver this ...thing.

watching critters

2009-07-23T11:56:00.001-07:00

the kids were checking out a baby snapping turtle. Chase asked it to give him a kiss.

smack!

2009-07-23T11:54:00.001-07:00

I don't know how to spell croakay, but we sure have fun playing it.

eeew!

2009-07-04T08:38:00.001-07:00

I guess he didn't like the flowers at the house we walked by.

peace

2009-06-17T17:42:00.001-07:00

All geared up and ready to ride my ancient skateboard.

upside down

2009-04-24T11:22:00.001-07:00

Shirt on his feet, pants on his head. I don't even want to think about what he would do with his shoes.

don't feel good

2009-04-24T11:20:00.001-07:00

This is how he slept when he wasn't feeling all that great. Slept like that for 2 hours (once I was done poking a camera in his face).

clean-up

2009-04-15T18:08:00.001-07:00

Gage did a pretty good job of licking the dirt off Chases fingers.

2009-04-15T18:05:00.001-07:00

Pay no attention to the shadow behind him. He didn't.

2009-03-17T18:12:00.001-07:00

Too nice to eat inside. Instead, we went and got a slurpy, then grilled cheeses and some fries.
Now thats a lunch date.

snack break

2009-03-09T18:33:00.001-07:00

Ahhh, taking a break after a full day of playing with our trains.

canvas boy

2009-02-18T16:42:00.001-08:00

This nice white shirt was clean when he went to daycare. Key word here is was.

the need for speed

2009-02-01T16:31:00.001-08:00

He was going "super fast!".

2009-01-30T11:01:00.000-08:00

Quick note - we've dropped our land-line phone service and are going with just cell phones. If you need the numbers email me at curtbrown@gmail.com

now what?

2009-01-26T13:29:00.001-08:00

If that isn't the look of guilt, I don't know what is.

snow-plow

2009-01-12T18:12:00.001-08:00

Now if he really had a blade on the front of that thing, our scooping would go twice as fast.

Christmas rocks!

2008-12-18T13:29:00.001-08:00

Jamming to some Christmas tunes.
Can't do that without cool dude sun glasses.

2008-12-18T13:22:00.001-08:00

Gotta love that big red dog.

Clifford and the Christmas Tree

2008-12-12T16:29:00.001-08:00

Every week one kid from school gets to take Clifford home for the day. Thursday was Chases day.
He took a nap with him, played with him, and slept over night with him.
As we were getting ready for school today, I told him that Clifford had to get into his bag so he could go back to school. "But Daddy, I'll miss him."
Once he got to school, all was well and he handed it off to a teacher like it was no big deal.
Probably because it was teddy bear day.

snow angel

2008-12-05T08:24:00.001-08:00

By the time we got him back inside, we discovered snow in places that I didn't even know existed on the human body.

stumpy snowman

2008-12-05T08:21:00.001-08:00

We kept trying to do the traditional 3 segmented snowman, but the head kept falling off. So now I'll just call it Stumpy.

On the way to school the other day, he told me he was worried about his snowman melting. I guess Chase doesn't watch the weather forecast.

new hat!

2008-11-25T17:09:00.001-08:00

"Daddy! Take picture! Quick!"

Bob the Builder

2008-11-01T07:36:00.001-07:00

At one house he asked a neighbor woman if he could fix anything for them.
Not even 4 and he's already got the right questions to get the ladies.

I would've got more good pics, but he was moving around too fast.

2008-10-04T17:53:00.001-07:00

We had a good time at the pumpkin patch. When we carve the pumpkins we picked, I'm sure there'll be plenty of pictures of them being gutted.

Birdhouse Peek

2008-09-24T08:43:00.001-07:00

Me - "Anything in there?"
Him - "Nope, no birds"

Would probably help if he didn't stick his face in there every day.

Dirt Trucks

2008-09-24T08:41:00.001-07:00

I don't think I'll ever get to plant anything in that pot. Its his now.

Chase the Builder

2008-09-24T08:40:00.001-07:00

Can we fix it? Yes we can!

footwear

2008-09-14T14:44:00.001-07:00

If I'm not mistaken, thats a pair of my socks.
And I didn't give them too him. Hmmmm, who else could it be?

1st day

2008-09-04T13:48:00.001-07:00

I'm pretty sure he had a good time at daycare. And he made a hat.
What more could you want?!

trolley ride

2008-08-18T19:43:00.001-07:00

I think that at a minimum he would have rode on that thing 40 times in a row. Until he passed out from pure joy.

Here's an update on the painting. So far 1 and a half sides of the house done.
